Mema Review

There is no information on the website of Mema about who owns or runs the business.

mema.co.za, the website domain of Mema was registered by Quinton Le Grange on 3rd August, 2008.

The Mema address is registered through a PO Box in Cape Town, South Africa.

Le Grange states he works at Mema on his Facebook profile. It is not clear whether he owns the company.

If an MLM company does not reveal who is running or owns it, think twice before joining and/or investing any money.

Compensation Plan of Mema

The affiliates of Mema pay a monthly fee. Commissions are given out when they employ others who do the same.

The compensation plan presented on the Mema website appears to be outdated.

A YouTube video titled MEMA Compensation plan explained! was uploaded to the official Mema YouTube channel on 10th September, 2017.

Direct Recruitment Commissions

The affiliates of Mema are paid a R50 ZAR direct recruitment commission for evry fresh affiliate they enlist.

Residual Commissions

An affiliate of Mema must pay service fees for at least 2 months worth of service fees in order to qualify for residual commissions.

A unilevel compensation structure is used by Mema to pay residual commissions.

An affiliate is put at the top of a unilevel team by unilevel compensation structure. Each personally employed affiliate is placed directly under them.

When any level 1 affiliate enlists new affiliates, they are put on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

When any level 2 affiliate enlisst new affiliates, they are put on level 3 and so on down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

The payable unilevel levels are capped by Mema at ten. The commissions are given out as a percentage of service subscription fees paid by unilevel team affiliates monthly.

Based on the total number of affiliates recruited, the first level unilevel commissions are subject to a variable commission rate.

Bronze: enlist and preserve 1 affiliate and get a 50% first level commission

Silver: enlist and preserve 2 affiliates and continue to get a 50% first level commission

Gold: enlist and preserve 3 affiliates and get a 40% first level commission

Platinum: enlist and preserve 4 affiliates and get a 30% first level commission

Diamond: enlist and preserve 5 or more affiliates and get a 20% first level commission

Above Diamond, there is the Eagle rank that requires a Mema affiliate to

enlist and preserve at least 7 affiliates, 3 of which are Gold ranked

have at least 9 Gold ranked affiliates on the 2nd level of their unilevel team and

have at least 18 Silver ranked affiliates on the 3rd level of their unilevel team

the amount earned by a Mema affiliate on their 1st level also dictates commission rates and unilevel levels an affiliate earns on.

Bronze: 4% on levels 2 to 4

Silver: 5% on levels 2 to 5

Gold: 6% on levels 2 to 6

Platinum: 7% on levels 2 to 7

Diamond: 8% on levels 2 to 8

When an affiliate reaches the Eagle rank, they are given a variable percentage across 10 unilevel levels.

The variable percentage is based on monthly subscription volume created on each unilevel level.

the highest of the 10 levels gives a commission of 15%

the 2nd highest a commission of 13%

the 3rd highest a commission of 11%

the 4th highest a commission of 9%

the 5th highest a commission of 7%

the 6th highest a commission of 6%

the 7th highest a commission of 5%

the 8th highest a commission of 4%

the 9th highest a commission of 3%

the 10ht highest a commission of 2%

Mema Membership

The affiliate membership of Mema is R70 ZAR per month.

In an affiliate’s first 90 days they have access to subscribe to up to 3 Mema services (R150 ZAR or $11.10 USD).

After 90 days the affiliate has access to subscribe to more services, at a rate of R50 ZAR a month for each service ($3.70 USD).

Mema marketing material proposes that each affiliate must subscribe to at least 1 Mema service.

This pegs the whole cost of Mema affiliate membership at between R120 to R420 ZAR ($8.90 to $31 USD).

An annual R200 ZAR membership and activation fee is mentioned in the Mema website.

It is not clear if this includes or is on top of the R70 ZAR monthly fee stated in Mema’s official compensation plan video.

Summing Up

The website of Mema states that

Members who lacks a CONNECT @ MEMA AFFILIATE BUSINESS PROGRAM subscription are deemed as Customer.

This hints that retail sales are possible within Mema. However, they are not mentioned in Mema’s September 10th compensation plan video.

It is a strong sign that retail subscription sales are not a major focus of the company.
